We Played Riftbound Vendetta, the Newest Set for the League of Legends TCG

The wait is finally over for Riftbound’s Vendetta booster set, as its release is now just around the corner. This will be the League of Legends TCG’s fourth big drop with pre-release events at local stores starting July 24th with the global release on July 31st. That’s right! With the game having about a year under its belt now, fans finally have a synced-up release with both English and Chinese languages for the first time. Not only is this great for the meta, but players will also have some new deck combinations to mess around with as the set introduces new legends with opposing colors or domains and, of course, new mechanics like Flow to give some extra options out of hand. Not to mention, some overnumbered cards are getting a sleek take on rivalries, with diptychs or cards that can be displayed side-by-side to show a full art piece. From what I’ve seen so far, Vendetta is looking to be a fun set as players get deep into deck brewing with what could be one of the freshest meta for the game to date.
